2012 Map of Calflax

About this map

Agricultural operations and irrigation infrastructure define this corner of the San Joaquin Valley during the early 2010s. The settlement of Calflax sits at the intersection of a rigid grid of ranch roads, including Lassen Ave and W Oakland Ave, which facilitate the movement of goods from large-scale farming entities like Diener Ranch, Calflax Ranch, and Pasajero Farm. This strictly organized landscape is enabled by the massive engineering of the Governor Edmund G Brown California Aqueduct, which cuts diagonally across the southern portion of the quadrangle. The presence of the West Side Field Station Airport suggests the critical role of aerial crop dusting and agricultural research in maintaining the productivity of this arid but highly managed environment.
